## What it is
An open-source LoRaWAN server written in Erlang that combines network-server and application-server functionality for private LoRaWAN networks. It manages gateways and devices, handles encryption and integrity checks, parses payload formats, and forwards data via WebSocket, REST, MQTT, and AMQP.

## Use cases
- run a private LoRaWAN network server
- connect LoRaWAN gateways to my own backend
- forward LoRa sensor uplinks to MQTT or AWS IoT
- manage LoRaWAN devices and OTAA activation
- monitor gateway and node health with alerts
- store LoRa uplink data in MongoDB

## When to choose
- you operate your own private LoRaWAN network
- you want an integrated network-server and application-server in one compact deployment
- you need support for many regions, Class A/C devices, and multiple integration protocols

## When to avoid
- you need a commercially supported, large-scale carrier-grade LoRaWAN network server
- you require LoRaWAN 1.1 features
- you want a actively developed project with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, websocket, message-queue, monitoring, alerting, database
- domain: iot, networking, self-hosted, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, self-hosted
- tags: lorawan, lora, iot-network-server, erlang, mqtt, lpwan, gateway-management, linux, macos, docker
